Arsenal seem to be coming back to life after some of the injured players returned to the pitch. Not only that, but the Gunners are also looking to bring in reinforcements for the Champions League clash against Monaco which can be a great moment to redeem themselves after some poor performances during 2014. According to the Mirror, Wenger will start the transfer period with an offer for St. Etienne’s Loic Perrin who impressed the Frenchman during the first part of the season. The 29 year old who has proven to be versatile and highly efficient when played as a central midfielder is valued at about £6million, represents a great solution for Arsenal who need someone like him to keep the team together and connect the defense with the offense. Despite also targeting Schneiderlin, Arsenal are more likely to receive positive feedback from the French side rather than from Southampton who are reluctant when it comes to letting their number one player leave.

The fact that Perrin is available for the Champions League is also a big plus for The Gunners who need some serious man power to make a push this season. The 29 year old who can perform both as a defensive midfielder and as a center back is the perfect match for Arsenal’s temporary needs. He is a low cost solution who can turn into an excellent replacement for Arteta who has been having a hard time dealing with injuries. He can also hold down the fort until Wenger manages to bring someone like Khedira to the Emirates.
